I'm really glad, despite how hard and hurtful it is for my friends who are struggling with their feelings about being "still single", that they're at least not suffering every day for already having made a poor choice in a mate. It's a lot easier to be single and miserable than to be married and miserable - just ask any divorced person. He or she will give you the world's greatest pep talk about your singlehood.
It's true that you are in charge of your happiness, but it's a lot easier to manage your attitude when you're not having to compensate for a poor match. Whatever perceived change of prestige comes from marriage is surely tempered by risking your marital happiness for entrusting it to someone not responsible or mature enough to be relied upon to take it seriously.
